Hey all,

I posted something similar to this in the "general" forum, but thought this might be a better target audience. I just got a new (refurbished) nook from the buy.com deal and the #1 book I want to read right now is NOT available anywhere (that I can find) as a nook book or in the epub format.

I DID however find it on amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Stone-Tears-Sw...1458803&sr=8-1

My question to you all is this:

Can I download this "kindle" book and convert it, using calibre, to a format my nook will display? If so, will it work just like I had gotten it from Nookbooks, i.e. will there be any glitches/errors in the file?

Sorry if these are n00b questions, but the various different file types are a bit confusing to me at first, I wish all ebooks used the same format...oh well.

Thanks for the help!
